Answer the following questions. Please ensure to use the Author, YYYY  APA citations with any content brought into the assignment.  

For sparse data, discuss why considering only the presence of  non-zero values might give a more accurate view of the objects than  considering the actual magnitudes of values. When would such an approach  not be desirable?

Describe the change in the time complexity of K-means as the number of clusters to be found increases.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of treating clustering as  an optimization problem. Among other factors, consider efficiency,  non-determinism, and whether an optimization-based approach captures all  types of clusterings that are of interest.

What is the time and space complexity of fuzzy c-means? Of SOM? How do these complexities compare to those of K-means?

Explain the difference between likelihood and probability.

Give an example of a set of clusters in which merging based on the  closeness of clusters leads to a more natural set of clusters than  merging based on the strength of connection (interconnectedness) of  clusters.

1. System administrators currently create users on each computer where users need access. In Active Directory, where will system administrators create users?

2. How will the procedures for making changes to the user accounts, such as password changes, be different in Active Directory?

3. What action should administrators take for the existing workgroup user accounts after converting to Active Directory?

4. How will the administrators resolve differences between user accounts defined on different computers? In other words, if user accounts have different settings on different computers, how will Active Directory address that issue? (Hint: Consider security identifiers [SIDs].)

In support of your Group Research Assignment for the residency, you will be developing an Annotated Bibliography.

This assignment is one of several throughout your program that we use to help you to better understand the research process. One of the core competencies necessary to succeed in a graduate program is the ability to identify other research that pertains to your own. This means you’ll have to identify similar research, read the papers, and assimilate prior work into your own research. An annotated bibliography helps you develop and hone these research skills.

This annotated bibliography should specifically focus on literature related to one of the laws or regulations that we have covered in this course. Each group will be assigned a different law or regulation for consideration. The resources you select must clearly align with the research topic. This is not expected to be a complete bibliography of every resource that you review in the process of your research. Rather, it should identify and discuss those resources that you found most influential in the development of your research paper.

You paper must be in correct APA format, use correct grammar, and will need to include at least seven (7) resources, ALL of which must:

1) Be current. Published within the last few years.

2) Be peer-reviewed.

3) Relate directly to your topic

For each annotation, your should provide;

1) the APA formatted reference entry.

2) analysis of the credibility of the resource.

3) assessment of the relevance of the resource to your research topic.

5) discussion of the information from the resource that will be used in your research paper.

6) consideration for how that information will be used in support of your research paper.

USE YOUR OWN WORDS!!!! DO NOT PLAGIARIZE!!!! 

Remember that an annotation is not the same as an abstract. Abstracts are descriptive. Your annotations are to be evaluative and critical. Give me enough information for me to decide if I’m interested enough to read the paper, and also how you perceive the paper. Don’t go skimpy on these annotations, but DO NOT write too much here. Quality is far more important than quantity. This exercise is for each of you to demonstrate that you can identify, categorize, and digest multiple scholarly resources. 

Every resource you choose must be peer-reviewed. That means the paper must have undergone a formal peer- review before being published in a journal or presented at a conference. You must ensure that your resources have undergone rigorous reviews. In most cases, you can find out the review process for a conference or journal by visiting the appropriate web site. Do not simply assume that a resource is peer-reviewed – check it out. 

Assumptions:

All HIM applications must be managed by the same individual. It is more important the individual who manages the applications have a familiarity with the HIM processes rather than IT experience.

Deliverables:

1. Choose three different job analysis methods discussed in chapter 7 that you will use to collect data for the proposed new HIM application specialist position.

2. Write a 1-2 page paper summarizing the methods, explain why you chose the method, and describe how you would carry out the method in analyzing the application specialist position.

3. Create a new job title and job summary the HR department will use to recruit for candidates for this new HIM position.

4. Review the results on page 281 of candidates and then develop 3 interview questions to ask each candidate during a structured interview; each candidate will be asked the same 3 questions. (see part 3 on page 281 for additional suggestions).

HIM departments are always budget conscious and trying to do more with less. It is very common to combine jobs or eliminate positions through attrition.

Review the case study on pages 150-151 and provide the following deliverables:

1. A new combined job title and describe why this title was selected (approx. 2 paragraphs incorporating what you learned from reading chapter 7)

 Would you apply SDLC to a team of web developers?  Why or why not?
